And I know you thought that lifting weights, made me so buff and handsome,
        
Am            F                      G      Am             G*           
You were wrong, it's 'cuz I let my hair grow long, that makes me strong,

Hey there Delilah, you came in while I was sleeping,
       C                            Em
And I couldn't feel you cutting and I didn't hear you creeping
         Am    F           G                  Am               G*
out the door, You left my hair piled on the floor, while I just snored

C                       Am       C              Am
Oh, what you did to me, Oh, while I was asleep,
C              Am       C                  Am
Oh, I'm a Nazarene, Oh, but you shaved me clean,
                   C
Delilah you're so mean

Bridge:

F                                    G
I killed a lion, big and mean, and slaughtered many Philistines, 
     C                                   Am
All with a donkey's jaw bone, that's no lie,
F                                      G
But now I'm chained up to a wall, and I can't cry no tears at all,
      C                                     Am
Because they came and gouged out both my eyes...
 F                                         G
Why'd you grab your clipping shears, and shave my head like Britney Spears,
      C                               Am                 C
And now I'm standing hear in total shame, and you're to blame

Hey there Delilah, why did you have to deceive me? 
          C                             Em                       Am
and it's hard for me to think, not long ago I wanted you to be my bride,
F             G                    Am     =
But you took too much off the sides, 
F             G              Am
hey there Delilah when you die,
F             G              Am
Just tell the devil, I said "hi", 
           G*
He'll know why

C                  Am          C                     Am
Oh, I look like a freak, you know, Delilah, you're a geek

Oh, you're such a geek...
